Test applications often call for a clock signal. Rather than tie up a function generator, you can build a programmable clock generator with just two ICs. You can then control the clock generator with ...

Transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) convert a current to a voltage. In many systems, this current comes from a photodiode. In order to test a TIA, it is best to drive the TIA with a current that emulates ...

Tektronix today introduced the TSG4100A series of signal generators. The TSG4100A is a vector signal generator (VSG) at the affordable price of a basic signal generator. The new RF signal generator ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

A fixed-frequency signal generator that can produce outputs simultaneously at multiple phases such as 45°, 90°, 135°, and 180° is sometimes needed for testing multi-channel analog-to-digital ...
